I recently ordered some brass frost plugs from the UK.  The packaged arrived=
 but had been neatly cut at the base, presumably for Canada Customs to inspe=
ct the contents, but they never taped it back up.  Consequently I was delive=
red an empty jiffy-pack! The second order came through just fine.  A few yea=
rs ago I had a 1930s Lucas distributor sent from the UK which tracking said a=
rrived in Canada, but it was returned to the sender because Canada Customs d=
estroyed the shipping address when they opened it. Like the frost plugs, the=
 second attempt was successful.  Makes you scratch your head and wonder does=
n't it.

I can, with a reasonable sense of certainty that my directions will be
followed in a timely fashion, place an envelope in my mailbox and a person
will pass that envelope to his/her fellow employees who will in turn carry
that envelope 3000 or so miles and bring it to my addressee's home or place
of business in 3-4 days, all for $.055 or less.  Not a bad deal!

    <font size="-1"><font face="Courier 10 Pitch">I have to cut the USPS
        some slack due to the pandemic.  I had priority mail boxes sit
        for a week at distribution centers.  But incoming international
        packages has been much worse.  An envelope from Germany sat in
        NYC for three months.  A print in a cardboard tube from the UK
        sat in Chicago for four months.  On the other hand, I recently
        bought a copy of Donald Healey's 8C Triumph Dolomite book from
        the UK - three weeks.  Over the weekend, I bought a copy of
        Herve Chevalier's latest Healey book on the AH 100.  Will see
        how long that takes.</font></font><br>

>From my experience throughout the world people complain about their =
local postal systems, after all what could be simpler that placing a =
sheet of paper in an envelope and asking someone to take it from A to B?

=20

However I wonder if the world=E2=80=99s postal systems could have =
foreseen the massive increase in online shopping due to Covid.

=20

Here in Australia, the use of online shopping has skyrocketed beyond all =
expectations.=20

=20

I am located in the mountains NW of Sydney and the city/environs =
(including us) has been in lockdown since mid-June and it will last to =
the end of September at least.

=20

Our household is just one small example and we have bought garden rakes =
to coffee to medications all online. At the moment we are waiting for =
fabric from the US, China and the UK; plants/seeds from within =
Australia; Austin-Healey parts from within Australia; Healey parts from =
the UK; plastic models from China; bedding from within Australia; garden =
implements from the UK; books from the UK; and, screws/nuts/bolts from =
within Australia.

=20

Australia Post is lifting its game and parcels are arriving quicker than =
normal mail (letters). Parcels are also delivered six days a week, while =
post is Monday to Friday.

=20

One of the places we buy fabric is from an outlet in South Carolina and =
it=E2=80=99s always interesting to watch how the parcel is tracked =
through the USPS system as it too is getting faster. Although there are =
some places in the US where the parcel seems to sit for an inordinate =
amount of time. Then instead of a parcel coming direct from the US to =
Australia, it may go via Tokyo, Hong Kong or Singapore. As there are no =
aircraft carrying tourists coming to Australia, air traffic has dropped =
considerably and air cargo flights are increasingly being relied upon.

=20

Yes give the postal systems some slack as it is a difficult time.

The USPS is seeing massive issues because the post master want to =
privatize it's services, and covid. But there is a plan to cause issues =

I can, with a reasonable sense of certainty that my directions will be =

>From my experience throughout the world people complain about their local p=
ostal systems, after all what could be simpler that placing a sheet of pape=
r in an envelope and asking someone to take it from A to B?

 =C2=A0

However I wonder if the world=E2=80=99s postal systems could have foreseen =
the massive increase in online shopping due to Covid.

 =C2=A0

Here in Australia, the use of online shopping has skyrocketed beyond all ex=
pectations.=20

 =C2=A0

I am located in the mountains NW of Sydney and the city/environs (including=
 us) has been in lockdown since mid-June and it will last to the end of Sep=
tember at least.

 =C2=A0

Our household is just one small example and we have bought garden rakes to =
coffee to medications all online. At the moment we are waiting for fabric f=
rom the US, China and the UK; plants/seeds from within Australia; Austin-He=
aley parts from within Australia; Healey parts from the UK; plastic models =
from China; bedding from within Australia; garden implements from the UK; b=
ooks from the UK; and, screws/nuts/bolts from within Australia.

 =C2=A0

Australia Post is lifting its game and parcels are arriving quicker than no=
rmal mail (letters). Parcels are also delivered six days a week, while post=
 is Monday to Friday.

 =C2=A0

One of the places we buy fabric is from an outlet in South Carolina and it=
=E2=80=99s always interesting to watch how the parcel is tracked through th=
e USPS system as it too is getting faster. Although there are some places i=
n the US where the parcel seems to sit for an inordinate amount of time. Th=
en instead of a parcel coming direct from the US to Australia, it may go vi=
a Tokyo, Hong Kong or Singapore. As there are no aircraft carrying tourists=
 coming to Australia, air traffic has dropped considerably and air cargo fl=
ights are increasingly being relied upon.

"*From my experience throughout the world people complain about their local
postal systems, after all what could be simpler than placing a sheet of
paper in an envelope and asking someone to take it from A to B?"*
*--------------------------------------------------*
Points A and B might be 3,000 miles apart located in god knows what kinds
of locales and climes.
I'm simply saying that getting this done in a couple of days for $0.55 is
still a pretty good deal, even if they do get it wrong once in a while.

I don't doubt the marvel of how they can send a letter so cheaply from one
place to the next, but I've had some pretty unacceptable parcel shipment
issues with them, my most recent example of a small parcel taking a month
to travel from Florida to Hong Kong because it went USPS.

I have run alot of businesses, and FedEx, etc., would never let packages
sit anywhere that long because it actually costs them more money to keep it
stored somewhere safe rather than just moving it to its final destination.
It's a reflection of significant inefficiencies in their systems, something
that private companies have no acceptance for.

To make things worse I find DHL to be just as good as FedEx in most
respects... DHL is Deutche Post so why is it that the German Post office
has no problems competing but the USPS can't hack it?  It may have
something to do with the reality that USPS signed that poor agreement that
subsidizes Amazon.com.  Yes I know Deutche Post is probably funded by the
German government, but even with that they have risen above the natural
result of being a bumbling befuddled bureaucracy to be directly competitive
to FedEx.  Certainly the USPS with decent management would be able to
compete on the same level, especially with their inherent and paid for
Point to Point infrastructure.

  Australia Post is lifting its game and parcels are arriving quicker =
than normal mail (letters). Parcels are also delivered six days a week, =
while post is Monday to Friday.

  One of the places we buy fabric is from an outlet in South Carolina =
and it=E2=80=99s always interesting to watch how the parcel is tracked =
through the USPS system as it too is getting faster. Although there are =
some places in the US where the parcel seems to sit for an inordinate =

Australia, it may go via Tokyo, Hong Kong or Singapore. As there are no =
aircraft carrying tourists coming to Australia, air traffic has dropped =
considerably and air cargo flights are increasingly being relied upon.

    I have to cut the USPS some slack due to the pandemic.  I had =
priority mail boxes sit for a week at distribution centers.  But =
incoming international packages has been much worse.  An envelope from =
Germany sat in NYC for three months.  A print in a cardboard tube from =
the UK sat in Chicago for four months.  On the other hand, I recently =
bought a copy of Donald Healey's 8C Triumph Dolomite book from the UK - =
three weeks.  Over the weekend, I bought a copy of Herve Chevalier's =
latest Healey book on the AH 100.  Will see how long that takes.

I'll add this: For years, my mom has been sending her indigent, 
alcoholic brother $400 cash every month (he doesn't have a bank account 
and the payday lender/check-cashing outfits take a HUGE cut). I've been 
keeping up the 'tradition' for her, but in all the confusion of a move, 
remodel, etc. I lost his address and sent this month's help to a 
non-existent address. It took 3 weeks, but a day ago I got the letter 
and money back.

Thank you USPS.
